Andy started his career as a bouncer for nightclubs, made his first million aged 26 from property and now his businesses collectively have a turnover of £25 million a year.

Even when he lost £6 million durring the credit crunch of 2008 and broke both legs in a car accident shortly after, he recovered and his businesses are doing well. He has also sailed across the Atlantic and is a qualified pilot.

One of Andy’s businesses is West One, a provider of temporary and permanent chefs in London, so The Pig's Ear will get the pick of the bunch in the industry, explained Andy.

Andy’s company used to have a group of bars and clubs in London which included big West End venue No.1 Leicester Square.

The Pig's Ear is the first of a few pubs he is intending to add to his portfolio.

“The locals are our core business but we hope to get more diners in there,” said Andy.

“We would very much like it to be a place to go to for a drink before they go out for a late night in Chelsea.”

Andy added: “It's really nice when you get a pub that has not had love to be able to invest in it and see it get busier after a couple of years.
